When former newspaper reporter Amy Senk decided to get back into journalism she wasn’t sure how to begin. “When I was reporting we barely had Internet or e-mail” she says. Senk left her job at the Contra Costa Times in the mid-1990s and focused on raising a family. When her husband was diagnosed with an aggressive blood cancer in late 2006 Senk considered that she might need to provide health insurance for her family if her husband was unable to work.
